They say life's not all beer and skittles, but there's nothing wrong with indulging in a cold one now and again. While you're here, ensure it's Cascade Special Stout.
Bundaberg Spiced Rum is what most locals have when the night nods for something with more of a kick. Ask the barkeeper for a sample and see if it excites your taste buds.
Begin your evening in fine form with a drop of a local favourite like Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon or Huon Valley Pinot Noir. Taste for texture, structure and balance, or just have a bottle with your friends.
